Let the d:dicate 4018ER Supercardioid Microphone with Modular Active Rear Cable, a product of the renowned DPA Microphones, elevate your audio recording experience. This high-quality, durable microphone is designed for professional use, offering unparalleled sound capture from a specific direction, thanks to its supercardioid pickup pattern.
This innovative microphone stands out with its ultra-compact design, measuring a mere 3.5 cm in length. Despite its small size, it delivers a smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response, making it an ideal choice for unobtrusive or distant miking. Whether you're capturing dialogue, conducting an interview, or recording at a podium, the 4018ER ensures reliable audio capture with minimal background noise.
The 4018ER's supercardioid shape is frequency independent, ensuring a consistent sound color around the microphone. Unlike most supercardioids, the 4018ER minimizes the usual rear lobe, resulting in a more isolated sound without sudden frequency-dependent peaks and dips.
This microphone is not just about superior audio capture; it also offers flexibility. It can easily be transformed into a new configuration by combining it with another DPA microphone capsule or preamp, without the need for any tools.
Ideal for orchestra recording situations, the 4018ER can be used as a spot or hanging mic with the included SM4000-C suspension mount. This allows for precision spot miking of orchestra sections or creating an ambient atmosphere.
In summary, the d:dicate 4018ER Supercardioid Microphone with Modular Active Rear Cable is a testament to DPA Microphones' commitment to delivering high-quality, professional audio equipment. Its innovative design and superior features make it a reliable choice for all your audio recording needs.
